  Sigh.  

  I, Bruce R. Brunk, do here by formally announce that my next
creative endever will _not_ be the sequel to Ninja Scroll (the tape is
currently lent to a friend, and I'm not going to try and spell the
real title by memory.)  that I had mentioned before.  Even if I hadn't
already decided that I didn't have the background to do a proper job
of it, this more then proves to me that I have no business writing
anything of that nature.

Why not?

  Oh, I better add:  Hitomi, please don't take offense by the above
paragraph, nothing therein was directed towards you.  Probably
shouldn't even be writing this, but I read your note with in 15
minutes of calculating that the ~2000 posts I read and ~20 hours I
spent doing research for one component of a 9k long chapter netted me
1 or 2 names (one of which I already knew) and a set of initials.

No offense taken.

  With productive research like that, I wonder how I'm ever going to
be able to do anything really serious.

Take pen.  Sit down.  Write.  ^_^
